Most Expensive Stock in the US

Stock price is determined fundamentally with the law of supply and demand. The most important factor that affects the value and appreciation of stock shares is a company’s earnings. What is the most expensive stock in the US?

The price for one Class A share of the most expensive stock in the US briefly topped $100,000 on Thursday October 5, 2006. Which stock is the highest-priced shared on the New York Stock Exchange?

Warren Buffett’s Berkshire Hathaway’s (BRKA) headquartered in Omaha, Nebraska, USA is a large holding company with a phenomenal annual return for its shareholders averaging over 25% during the last 25 years. The expensive stock price of Berkshire Hathaway has been attained in part because Berkshire Hathaway has never split it’s shares. Because of the high per-share price of the stock, the company is has not been made part of a stock market index such as the S&P 500.

Buffett himself reportedly owned 498,320 shares of the most expensive stock in the United States as of May 2006. Earlier this year Buffet made the commitment to give away his fortune to charity, announcing plans to contribute approximately 10 million of the less expensive Berkshire Hathaway’s Class B shares (worth over 30 billion USD) to the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.

Can you believe Warren Buffett was turned down by the Harvard Business School?

I guess it just goes to show — the "experts" aren't always right and that we can always take a negative event and turn into the fuel required to succeed!

Congratulations, Mr. Buffett.

Very true, i am glad i didn’t go to Harvard.
Shame on you Harvard. I’m going to take over the world!!!!
Congrads, Mr. Buffett.

He was turned down because Harvard thought he was too young when he applied for Harvard Business School. He was 19 at that time and he was already trying to get into a graduate school (Harvard). Before he tried getting into Harvard, he studied at Wharton for only a year. He left Wharton because he found it boring (for someone who was considered to be a mathematical genius, has a photographic memory, and read business & investing books at age 10). After Harvard turned him down, his eyes were set on Columbia University’s Finance Department where Benjamin Graham and David Dodd were professors…then you know what happened half a century later..

The stock is so expensive because it never splits. Usually, when stocks get really expensive, they split so that a share is only half the price. In addition, anyone who owns a share during a split gets twice as many shares.

If buffet is so rich and he gave away so much money wouldn’t it be nice if he would give me a million dollars he won’t feel it even for a sec. But I’ll be so happy !

OMG, stop talking like he is god, he made bunch of money that is all. He seems to be nice and that is great but whatever. You talk like he a mythological creature. Many tycoons have become just as wealthy and are not as cunning, so chill on the propaganda.

JackApril 21, 2009

Just wanted to say that I belive that Mr. Buffet has made alot of great decisions in his life and they have worked in his favor. He is also a great business man. I would love to be able to sit down and talk to him face to face.

I eat at the Buffet all the time... You are what you eat :)May 20, 2009

I will be the next Warren Buffet!!! Then people can wite propaganda about me

Its all true, Buffett himself did reportedly owned 498,320 shares of the most expensive stock in the United States as of May 2006. and earlier last year Buffet made the commitment to give away his fortune to charity, announcing plans to contribute approximately 10 million of the less expensive Berkshire Hathawayâ€™s Class B shares (worth over 30 billion USD) to the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. One of my business partners, Tony Granims actually lost about $345,000.00 dollars investing in that same arena. Its not all good.. Whats go’s up will eventually fall down.. History will always repeat itself!

I want to meet that Buffett. Maybe he can give me some of his money. LOL Sooo stupid of me because i dont understand anything about stocks.LOL

KevinSeptember 19, 2009

In order to meet with the mythological creature Mr. Buffet you gotta pay 2.5 million dollars for the lunch meeting with him. As well, not only the people who have 2.5 million dollars can meet him, but also their popularity and tec. TTherefore, meeting Mr. Buffett isn’t that easy unless you owns 1% of his fortune.

KevinSeptember 19, 2009

My point is that if you owns 1% of his fortune, why bother asking him for the 1 million dollar? haha.

alvinNovember 24, 2009

is really interesting how people can make such money.
i hope to be more than mr buffet some days can’t wait

MattFebruary 26, 2010

@Alvin.

Alvin your first issue getting to that point, will be that you already state that you cannot wait. Well, to reach the point that Mr. Buffett has reached, you need patience, be willing to make sacrifices, be willing to make enemies, and be willing to work the long days. Once you can do that, without regretting it and giving up, you can propel yourself to that point. And on the fact of Harvard dismissing Buffett for age, or whatever people may think it was, 90% of your CEOs and Business owners, have no formal schooling, nor training, they just know how to do it. I know I replied to an old post, just putting my two cents in. But then again, its not as though I know anything about the business world.

I think stocks are a brilliant idea, especially if you know what your doing. Seeing a return like that on your stock is definitely worth while

He GIVES money to people through charity instead of creating high paying jobs, what an idiot. Just keep making the lazy more lazy and don't even know were the money is really going to. All those years of education and you wonder were do you find these people and then you have the stock market crashing and it could have been prevented through a backup plan by making more jobs instead of just giving the money away. I bet eveyone that has posted a comment either has worked at least once in their life or are currently working…

Please read this!!!!!!!!!!
Dear editor,
the most expensive stock is not Berkshire Hathaway (BRK.A), that stock is the most expensive in the USA. The most expensive stock in the world is T-Gaia (TYO: 3738) and its HQ is in Japan. Currently it is about 151,000 $. At a point is was 600,000 $. Also BRK.A at one time surpassed T-Gaia but not for long.

MelinaSeptember 20, 2011

If you notice the title, it doesn't say 'Most expensive stock in the world', it says 'Most expensive stock in the US'.

castFebruary 4, 2011

To harry! You're an idiot! TYO: 3738 is traded in Japanese Yen! Learn how to read!

marcApril 21, 2011

@ harry, The title of the post clearly states "Most expensive stock in the US". Before you post please read this!!!!!! comment please at least read the title of the OP.

TiffanyOctober 20, 2011

Dont think Buffett ever plans on splitting that stock. Better look at purchasing BRK B if you really want to get in on those picks. I think Harry wasnt paying attention to the title.
